Sara Bareilles
Splintering
[Verse 1]
We found a tender love it blossomed wild and free
Pure proof was in your arms when you were kissing me
I was an open book, you were an ocean breeze
Rustling through pages I never should have let you see
Never should have let you see

[Chorus]
Was I so wrong being such an open book?
Trusting so soon, losing all the tender time it took to love you
Just to crawl away with broken wings
And the pieces of my heart still splintering
The pieces of my heart still splintering

[Verse 2]
Friend’s asking where you are, say I misunderstood
I say he’s gone away, but he’s not gone for good
Speak of romantic plans we’re looking forward to
Meanwhile, imagining you end up with someone new

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
It’s surely over now, but how I ache inside
This ocean full of tears that I’m about to cry
You’re sorry for this pain, yeah, that’s not what you meant
I’m sorry too but my feelings more permanent
[Chorus]
